The treasury of swedish food is really interesting - and I really love the book you made for the recipe cards! It would be cool to know how you made it, because it would be perfect for my art/scrapbooking cards! Anyways, thank you so much, very cool package!

varandra, I really hope you receive my package soon, I'm starting to get worried! I always seem to have the worst luck with international shipping!

Ok everyone, technically I received yesterday but I was busy getting the money back that an atm stole from me so I couldn't post. But let me tell you, this package totally made my day!!

Meshell - Thank you so so so much!

First off, a swap note along with some extra little odds and ends.

Some owl note cards, which is so great because I love collecting note cards so I have them when an occasion arises!

A beautiful owl print - I really love this and the orange is just so nice and bright. I'm going to frame it for my "art wall".

And lastly, this beautiful, wonderful owl tote and zippered pouch. I love love love these sooooo much! Before I left home yesterday I filled the tote with everything I was hauling around for the day and believe me it made it through awesomely - even with the crazy snow falling! The pouch is so perfect because I was just about to buy something to store all my receipts and paper bits in!

I can finally post my photos - my internet was down for a couple days, not only could I not post my swap but I couldn't do anything internet related! I was losing my mind for a bit...

Anyways, here are the wonderful items from the package goatgoddess sent me:

First, two lovely little magnets - I could not get the pictures on them to show up with my camera, but there's Hedwig and then Harry and Draco. They're so great because my desk has metal bars and I'm decorating my office area in Moon and Stars / Harry Potter.

This is a great lightbox with a picture of the Trio in some pretty "dark" surroundings. I need to dig out my xmas lights to put inside. I'm going to keep it on one of the shelves on my desk closest to the outlet. Very cool!!

I laughed when I opened this box up - because it was very hard to open due to the paint and the Mad Eye Moody Trunck I had made goatgoddess was doing the same thing. I was so worried she wouldn't be able to get the darn thing open.

Inside the box, which I thought was very cool. I love little embellishments like this.

Here is some lovely harry potter fabric - this is sooo perfect because I've been finding old harry potter tshirts (from when the movies first came out) at the thrift stores and now I can make a great blanket for my office. Also some stickers - yay stickers!! and a lovely little note from goatgoddess.

These might be my favorite!! They're tacks and since we're redecorating my room I can't hang my bulletin board yet. Well where I put it my cat seems to find it and either use the board as a scratching post or he pulls all the tacks out with his mouth and leaves them laying on the board. When I go to pick it up, every things falls to my feet!! I put these on the board to see if he could pull them out and he can't. I should have taken a photo of him trying though!! But I really don't want him chewing on them so I just put the board up on my highest desk shelf. Anyways, I love these tacks, they have so much personality.

Goatgoddess - Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! I loved all of it so much!!
